Frequently Asked Questions

As an Asheville homeowner, how can you help with a yard that has standing water or compacted soil?

We address these common Asheville issues by first assessing your site's drainage patterns and soil composition. For standing water, our earthmoving and regrading services can reshape the land to direct water away from foundations and create proper flow. For compacted soil, we use specialized techniques to aerate and amend the soil, often incorporating native plants with deep root systems that naturally break up compaction and improve water infiltration over time. Our designs focus on creating a healthy, absorbent landscape that manages water effectively.

What does your landscape design process involve for a new patio or outdoor living space?

Our design process begins with a thorough consultation to understand your vision, usage needs, and the specific conditions of your Asheville property. We then create a cohesive plan that may include patio construction, walkways, retaining walls, and features like arbors or outdoor kitchens. A key focus is selecting durable, often recycled, materials and native plantings that complement the hardscape. We manage the entire project from concept through construction, ensuring the final space is not only stylish and functional but also ecologically integrated and built to last with minimal future maintenance.

Do you offer ongoing care for the native plants and trees you install?

Yes, we provide comprehensive tree and shrub care to ensure your ecological landscape thrives. This includes expert planting, pruning, and trimming tailored to native species, as well as proactive disease and insect management using environmentally responsible methods. Our maintenance philosophy aligns with our design goal: to create gardens that become increasingly self-sufficient. We'll help establish your new plants and trees correctly and can provide guidance or services for their long-term health, reducing the need for frequent, intensive upkeep.
